the big jump and dramatic change, however, has come in the last decade during the bush and clinton administrations, when, as i mentioned, for the first time in history, intrasession recess appointments had exceeded intercession appointments by a 5-1 ratio. if the olc opinion is accepted and practiced and as dogma, there is nothing left to the senate's confirmation authority. remarkably, and tellingly, i believe, the olc opinion asydously avoids any decision whatsoever or discussion of the appointments clause itself. all of the framers debates over the general power of appointment. those debates, however, were heated, contentious and revelatory of their awareness of the importance of their decision as to how and where they were going to invest, control over the appointing power. the recess clause, however, on the other hand, was adopted by a constitutional convention without debate, which strongly suggests that the framers thought that the clause would not affect the meticulously developed scheme of checks and balances of the general appointments process, which requires action by both the president

president clinton summed it up very well. look at the job creation on behalf of president obama and the direction he has as going in, and then look at the direction the republicans would take us. they want to go backwards. even the current house republicans in terms of job creation - as president clinton put it, "zero." >> congressman, your speech really dwelled a lot on the explicit or implicit promises of social security and medicare. but everyone acknowledges the demographics of this country are changing. so, how do you maintain that promise? and when might we actually see a democratic plan to maintain the solvency of medicare for the long haul, understanding that the affordable care act keeps it solvent for the short-term? but going further, when do we see a democratic plan? >> let's start with that. i think that is an important point. you are right. the affordable care act takes it out for an additional eight years. under the romney plan, it would be a change as we know it by 2016. again, i think president clinton outlin
